    Are those older wider gauge tram tracks running parallel ?
  • beachcomber australia said:

  • O Mac said:
    The Dublin Southern Districts Tramways Company's Kingstown to Dalkey 4' track is evident.... so photo is post 1879.

    The church tower top left does not seem to have a spire yet ... Streetview is a bit odd around there - maps.app.goo.gl/jvXxdf5BQS8nkJxa6

    That condensed script again ...
  • Peter Cartwright said:
    I thought “those rails look a long way apart” and then realised that 5 foot 3 is the standard track gauge in Ireland.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There is a longer shot Stereo Pair - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000565278 - where the creeper on the temple is a few feet lower. A few years between the photos? Didn't O Mac say recently that the line was duplicated in 1882 ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Yes pre 1882 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiney_railway_station ... The original station was located on nearby Strathmore Road. The current station opened on 6 May 1882 under the name Killiney & Ballybrack, replacing both Killiney and Ballybrack stations, the Ballybrack suffix was dropped in 1921. The original Killiney station had itself replaced the earlier Obelisk Hill, Killiney station on 1 January 1858. ...

    A couple of later photos showing double tracks and this station abandoned, the platform falling apart, and the temple almost covered by trees - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336702 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000323128

    Happy 4000th!

    In megazoom, I can read that the huge carts opposite belong to Thomas White & Co.

    Since absorbed by the House of Fraser department stores.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The trees are marked on the 25", weak evidence we are before 1900.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The barracks dates from 1891. I see scaffolding and an unfinished roof.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, when I saw Aldershot on the carts, I thought for a moment that Robert French had gone "out foreign" for once!
  • John Spooner said:
    Thomas White & Co had their fingers in several pies. As well as department stores, they wer estate agents "Have all the best houses available on their Register, furnished and unfurnished, in immediate vicinity of the Aldershot Comamand Barracks" (Aldershot News - Friday 12 January 1917). As well as Aldershot they had a branch in Farnborough (or more accurately North Camp, between Aldershot and Farnborough). Their premises there were on Lynchford Road, which coincidentally was my great-grandfather's address in 1886-1889.
